Height: 177414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VFieS97Tl
Hair colour: Black414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxV3UDq4t3
Eye colour: Yellow414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM9qGVH0a4
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l1Pmse8WK
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMotPJUmPIa
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfAAdVRfWe
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw52vpAqSZP
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNeo8ctHVu
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ox4Tr1LOQ
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLA8DDixwB
importance lies elsewhere.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYkoQYSnv6
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz5JBnVBSr
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyiLzSR7os
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLXnepJeTe
scholars.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVPemPxQMl
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXQZ3YLcIO
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYyHc5VrQk
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzcEwRVGec
Hair colour: White414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtu1gsAhxp
Eye colour: Pale Blue414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj49dgBZeW
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4tiee1oIB
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz9ZgpAZkm
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPedN2wgOZ
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnJXba6kFV
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJRMQ7yivo
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jbRPsgQZF
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3LezaLTEk
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtgDlC7w6s
Hervies simply could not pass on it.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1lv6LZ9vr
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u8dApNKf1
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wK69zuf0f
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW1JiR0Zpg
are not his only strength.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO4P15CjWJ
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVkIqnxLzH
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW6cCUJPa5
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM86OuNXHK
ever hope to have around.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAjSLAbl2V
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4fGUEnQM5
have been someone important prior to joining?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlTTOWRa5m
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQVxcnffRb
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuI1m0akbp
Hair colour: Red and Blue414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFCeNPKZva
Eye colour: Pale Blue414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfRfYFnD0J
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfvhjkGTH
those she serves with.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJglqVT62
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyW3f0QClR
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfisgAdnp
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7tGuRzgz
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFarESIYXrQ
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvdxTNyJG
still surrounds her.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD6f3z0sId
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2BnWcUPLR
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGodMsO2CX
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94VxteX89T
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSGApmjP79
to name it...414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa6JPSaHS2
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJegFp2m13p
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXE8AdpY0E
them until they were heard from no more.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfN8RjYPJb
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nla1NDmAx
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7R8IAFTgK
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HyA8GummZ
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ515gBUHdbr
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA1F5SW2XB
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnbmSG4JbW
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfctRR5knC
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFXZGeAXiY
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicBF5kiCcx
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwwYNU1ovC
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO996UgMhT
Hair colour: Pitch Black414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Ep4EBngW
Eye colour: Green414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66fICUVs3B
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsoK4gGDgd
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq60ioiOAO
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf1xhcpJPD
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKr6p7rUJe
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7i6whpWuU
and rundown houses.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQSdmIOo8
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWljbPbFmu
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qXmWQ1A3v
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgMhWMmjXL
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs1SvOGsy5
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmi3w7I3qn
Impossible, and yet it was true.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITsbsyuzcO
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC9XuCOLzc
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqCTe9EK81
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl01jutAHG
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGS89AGlB7
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8DNWjvCgW
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14uNLcd5Z4
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoTBaREhTo
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjAl8LOlVP
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB7l7ZOYM0
or something else of an uncanny nature.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP6X5CIKJr
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWrN0cs4w4
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwTISueA3Q
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hjBv0s7gX
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwherQcpF5g
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tuiLrXQjp
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4K5TsrxLh
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9NVXXDH5X
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL79I7fPfd3
being produced since the last war.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEWausTNU
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3FdevIf8
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCmsJ4ZmDW
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QrGJcPtr1
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYrCzccRPP
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Hair colour: Golden414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZvCRAZm9

Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzGRrE96Ow
through.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9slocfVLEo
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGEa2HjkD9
stained with flowered scars.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxApwaHOw
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4xGdeXM02
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi94ki6qfZ
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwva0PbF7SK
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTox1xfwRs
as they get passed across mouth and land.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BtYZXpGnY
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZSrVx1oY
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpujxLIPDkB
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkcppla9Vp
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV68ZtzS78
soldier’s orders.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzYMzlCCGd
And that is but the latest.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehBUI8Pudm
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVuysOg92i
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKYTXwIi0
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSWVTH0aHM
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOCO4tMBHi
to follow.414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgF9RTMadx
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBw7Gn1Hq
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCXtN8Gt6E
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
